First one to post? yes.
Alex, you go to war every day with your sheets. You fight those terrible covers every morning to finally get out of bed. It’s about time you put that experience to good use. Stay in Dreamland just a little longer and kick some dragon tail:)

“All is fair in love and war”. My favorite quote concerning war. However, I have to say..that I agree with the idea of “pointy end goes in the dragon”. The problem is getting there. Since they are going to be seen as traitors, they can’t just walk right into the throne room and challenge Nic. I say tunnel underground!

Alex: “Okay. First we need a command center.”
Nastajia: “The ruins of Ashendel. He won’t suspect anyone hiding out there.”
Alex: “Great. Then we need SCV’s to harvest mineral…”
Nastajia: “Wait, what?”
Paddington: “‘Harvest mineral?’ Is this some slang term for recruiting rock giants? My people are pacifists!”
Alex: “…next we need a barracks with a tech reactor and start training marines and medics.”
Felicity: “Mar…I’m pretty sure the merfolk are useless on land!”
Kiwi: “Is he all right?”
Alex: “We have to do this and scramble up the tech tree pretty fast to build the best forces we can…”
Nastajia: “Tech tree? I’m not sure what that is but I’m pretty sure Nicodemus burned that one down.”

At least Alex realizes he is so not ready for this particular part of the journey… although when he says “But.. I’m, I’m no King Arthur” all I could think of was the 1988 VP debate and Senator Lloyd Bensten saying “Senator, you are no John Kennedy.’ Don’t ask me why it just kind of popped in there. heh.

Well he does have some of the best advisors with him. One being a princess, trained to rule and take over after her parents pass on. Centaurs have always been portrayed as excellent scholars and war tacticians. And who better knows how to sneak up on someone and take them by surprise, especially someone who has knowledge of the enemy’s lair and its strengths and weaknesses.

I still can’t see a war. The Elves and Alex together don’t have enough resources to take on all of Dreamland. They might pick up some allies, I’m thinking those feisty Dwarves. IMNSHO that’s still not enough, and His Royal Highness King Nick is still the ruler of Dreamland. Can’t wait to see how Alex is going to get out of this one.

Scott gets a computer that is 100x faster than the one he started the comic with, but the graphics programs require at least 200x the number of calculations to render today’s more complicated and detailed models and scenes.

“War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y’all

War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives

War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives

I said, war, huh
Good God, y’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain’t nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It’s an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y’all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it’s got one friend
That’s the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can’t give life
It can only take it away

Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there’s got to be a better way

Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it

War, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing”

(I’m quite certain that at least one other person here besides me has had this song stuck in their head for the last day or three … )
